I had an other look to this bug.
It is due to a strange bug when running the test in a W98se DOS window.
When running it in bare DOS no error.
When making your suggested replacement, no error.
The problem is that the delay of 2 seconds which should be produced by
sleep(2) is not realized (at the present time ...) when running this test
in this DOS window: 2 seconds are felt by bare eye.
I can produce it when running under debugger (with rhide), and then the result
is correct.
I will make some more investigations on sleep in a bare C program,
but otherwise you can change the test freely.
